Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Apple was targeting an iTunes Radio launch in several new countries for 2014. According to the report, Apple was expecting to rollout the new radio service in The United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia by early next year.

iOS 7 doesn’t require an update to enable access to the service in new countries, but a quick restart of your device or the Music app should make iTunes Radio appear if it’s available in your location.

Update: It’s unclear if the service is actually beginning to roll out in Canada or if there is a server side issue causing iTunes Radio to appear in the Music app. Shortly after appearing in Canada the service stopped functioning:

I noticed iTunes radio appeared in my iPhone and iPad around Christmas time but the service didn’t work. That lead me to a search and this article. I thought I’d try again after the new year and sure enough on my iMac, iPhone and iPad there was a functional iTunes radio option. A few days later all traces of iTunes Radio disappeared from all my Apple devices despite checking all the preference and display settings. Weird! (I’m on the West Coast).
